The Ghosts of Harlem

The Ghosts of Harlem began innocently enough in 1986 after a visit to Small's Paradise in Harlem. My idea was to intervie and photograph a number of the still living mambers of the golden age of jazz in Harlem and try to find out where the music had gone end why it had vanished. I pitched the ides to Les Pockell, now at Doubleday, and gave him nothing but a title, and a hundred names and telephone numbers. He sold it on the title alone.  He had the telephone numbers in his back pocket.

Ultimately, Les left Doubledey end the project languished until Nicholas Hugnet of Filipacchi saw one of the pictures from the book in 1995.He bought it on the spot end a gorgeous edition appeared in France in 1997.

 

The Ghosts of Harlem portfolio was issued in 2007 to benefit the Jazz Museum in Harlem. It contains eight black end white silver prints and four chromegenic color prints. It was issued in an edition of 15 copies.
